Hotel Overbooking
Selling more rooms than exist — deliberate (to cover no-shows) or accidental (sync failure).
Overbooking means confirmed reservations exceed available rooms. Airlines do it deliberately; hotels mostly suffer it accidentally through unsynced channels.
A channel manager plus conflict-blocking PMS eliminates accidental overbooking — the main kind that triggers walk-aways and bad reviews.
LodgeStatus blocks conflicting reservations automatically across direct and OTA channels.
